Lesson Delivery
*This lesson uses similar techniques found in the FanFiction site. Online writing uses different skills that digital natives may have that are not necessarily valued in traditional expository, narrative, or persuasive pieces as presented in school. This and subsequent lessons will attempt to integrate cross curricular standards with online tools that use students' native abilities to navigate through the Internet. Similar to both FanFiction and Facebook, students will be able to answer questions and pose their own for others to answer in this lesson.
*Lesson Delivery under revision. It will be posted when finalized by the FanFiction group.
